Clinton Gets a Boost from the Internet

Democrat Hillary Clinton has been mentioning her website every chance she gets–and the reminder to her supporters is paying off. Clinton saw a surge in fundraising last month in a large part because of contributions coming in online, according to the New York Times. The $35 million she raised “was driven not by the affluent donor network that her campaign has been known for but by about $30 million in Internet contributions that arrived mostly in small-dollar increments,” the Times reported.
